A chorus of groans echoed through the harshly lit computer lab. “Complain all you want!” My balding professor retorted. “You all know that CS3003 is the final weed-out class. If you want to graduate, you WILL have a working program in my inbox by the end of the month! Dismissed!” I slammed my software engineering book closed with an audible snap. Luckily, I...
I. Just Another Day Quick note: This chapter's non-erotic. I'll have this note on all chapters like this, as this was originally a novel I was writing for the NaNoWriMo and therefore not centered around sex every chapter. Ai sat in the computer lab, a series of images flickering in bright reflections across her face. Next to her sat a man with features st...
The sound of low thumping seemed to fill the air, a squealing guitar suddenly shattering even that as the door to a squat building, the same in a row of squat buildings, opened out into the night. It was cold, mid-winter, and the people who exited looked like they were on fire from the amount of steam coming off of their bodies. Some of them were garish, neo...
Dear Dora, I hope you can help me. I live with my boyfriend, Doug. We live in a house I bought before I met him. I work as a dental assistant; Doug doesn't work right now, because he is recovering from surgery. I have some concerns about our relationship; I need some advice. Doug is a musician, so his schedule has always been real flexible. After I got pr...
*Note to readers: I don't have children in school, but I do have tremendous concerns with education in America. I believe the entire system needs to be dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up, but also believe that will never happen for a variety of reasons. I can't even touch on all of the problems or why I see them as concerns let alone offer proposed so...
(Feel free to help and comment down below if I make a mistake thanks) The first alarm since school ended sounds like freedom. You slap a hand on the alarm button and sit up to glance blearily at your room. Papers scattered on the desk, clothing haphazardly in or hanging off the edge of the laundry bin. You take a moment to lean your weight on your hands befo...
Here is some stuff that I wrote that made me laugh. Hope it does you, too [what the fuck does that mean?]. * I have a great-grandmother, still alive at 92 years old... but we're not close... I owe her money. My attorney wants me to "wait her out." I was a victim of identity theft not too long ago. But the guy turned himself in... He was afraid I'd ruin HI...
In 2037, a NEW WORLD ORDER was positioned firmly in place. Decades before, many of us thought by this time there would be wars to fight over natural resources or we'd be on the receiving end of a constant pummeling by natural disasters owed to climate change. Others thought perhaps we would face an evil world military superpower threatening to destroy all th...
Hi. My name's Aaron Silversten, and when I say I have a story to tell, I’m not kidding. You see, when I was in high school, my friend Jarod had this younger sister. Well, she's still his younger sister, only she's not so young anymore. Allow me to explain. When first I knew Allison, she was fourteen when I was eighteen, but boy, even then, she had a killer b...
Author's Note: all characters are at least eighteen years old. ***** Chapter One Friendship I can't remember how we became friends. If someone asked, I would say that our parents were friends before, and we became friends by association. If someone thought that my explanation was faulty, they would press me for a better answer. It just didn't seem possi...
